Felger leaving ESPN Boston

[Kevin Vahey]

I hope WEEI.com improves the interface of the site.

Anyone know how many viewers Felger and Dickenson generate for CSN?

Surprised they haven't done the route of other CSN's in having a show
with a full tie in with a paper. In Chicago it is Tribune Live in
Philly and NY Daily News Live.
